Welcome once again to #OnePlaceWednesday! As always, we’ll be using the hashtag throughout the day in posts about #OnePlaceStudies, that brilliant blend of #FamilyHistory and #LocalHistory, and we hope you will join us by sharing your OPS news, views, links, pics, questions, suggestions, and more.

#OnePlaceWednesday.
Image: A photo of open countryside with fields, trees, hedgerows, the occasional building, and some low, rolling hills. In the centre, and in the near distance, there is a tree in some sheep pasture, casting a long, early morning shadow while around a couple of dozen sheep are gathered beneath its leafy boughs.
One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
